McKillroy's top ten Options

[Chris McKillroy]

Well, the time has come for something completely different.
I should like to introduce you all to a little quirk i have been keeping up for some time now at other forums.
You all know the concept, the countdown list, I.E. top ten.
Today i will be counting down with the most stupid animals in the world - by my reckoning.

10. The Ant, the male ant spends it's entire life working, not once stoping to ask for a raise, sure, he gets to fertilize the queen once in a while but hey, you take a look at the queen and figure out the rest?

9. The Dragon, have you ever seen a dragon? Propably not, because they just weren't clever enough to survive.

8. The Bull, the bull seems to have no brainfunction what so ever, except for the parts that make you suddenly charge other bulls, humans, dogs, fences and aparrentley - red blankets.

7. The Lolcat, i know this animal does not actually exist apart from the internet, but come on, it makes no sense

6. The Raccoon, the last time i saw a raccoon, it put its head inside a soda can, started runnign around the house in a frenzy, hit the wall and stopped moving.

5. The Pidgeon, there are stories of pidgeons getting run over by cars after atempting to fect a single piece of bread on the motorway, i have been hungry, but still - thats messed up.

4. The tasmanian devil, how many of you have seen looney tunes? this animal goes into a frenzy when hungry, and is, according to warner brothers, prone to becoming a hurricane when sufficiently hungry.

3. The Sea Cucumber, here is an animal that is absolutely spineless, so spineless in fact that if it gets scared it excretes so much that every organ in its body follows, it does however reanimate all organs, leaving it at number 3 in stead of number two

2. The Lemming, "all the others are jumping of a cliff, what a good idea" need i say more?

1. The winner of this countdown is the Bristol Daredevil, Charles Stevens, the third person to ride over niagara falls in a barrel, he did so in 1920.
The barrel was made from russian oak and was fitted with a 220 Kg anvil at the bottom to secure a vertical fall.
When Stevens went over the falls, he had strapped his feet to the anvil, and his arms to a crossbar at chestheight.
Everything went just fine untill the barrel hit the water, while the barrel stopped falling, the anvil plunged a further 50 metres into the dark waters at the foot of niagara falls, taking Stevens with it, well most of Stevens.
His arms, being strapped to the crossbar, remained in the barrel while he plunged into the depths..
Maybe not as clever as he thought?


That was to top ten of today.
Should you have a wish as to the topic of another top ten list, please don't hessitate to post it.

Dragons do exist! There's thousands of the buggers here in Wales. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
